I don't think so - I could be wrong tho.

Your Ultra is a 6 speed, your Road King is a 5 speed.

Also 88 vs 96. A transmission from an 88 wont line up to a 96. Pretty sure this is accurate, but if I'm wrong, I will receive a merciless beating from the HD Forums fact checkers.

Not in this failure. The swing arm shaft goes through the rear of the trans case - the proper repair is a new trans case.
